Six Feet Underwhemling?

I liked the season 4 debut of Six Feet Under, but it was a bit disappointing after waiting so long for it. Hopefully, it will pick up as the season moves on. I like Peter Krause, but his over-the-top emoting made me wish for the days of "Sports Night" where every line was dead-pan and repeated three times. And toward the end of the show, I was wondering how many more scenes would go by before his face was magically healed -- I'm pretty sure it will be totally fine by the next show.
